John Mullin - 1909 Missing umpire

This photo is from the Pittsburgh Weekly Gazette of Feb. 4, 1906. The associated article announces that Mullin has just been selected to be the first umpire hired for the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia League for the coming season. He is off to an early start, as he was only 17 years old at the time. He would make his major league debut at age 20.
